Buttermilk Plum Pancakes

Since the countdown for me to participate at IFBM is on, I am trying to hone up various recipes which are not often made at our household. One kind of breakfast that I have recently taken interest upon now a days is pancakes. And since I love cooking challenges so trying my skills to come up with interesting dishes. Like in my previous post Trifle With Plum Compote And Boondi Laddo I had included Indian Boondi Laddo for the trifle which came out fantastic. Another reason was ofcourse taking part in KitchenAid Contest which is a part of upcoming Bangalore Food Bloggers Meet that is going to happen on 1st aug and 2nd Aug 2014. Well who wouldn't want to win KitchenAid Chopper !

The best part about it is that it is such an easy peasy recipe that anyone can follow. Also you could add small pieces of plums while serving. As now a days we are pressed for time in our jobs, so we need nutrition with taste as well. This time around I have mixed plum compote in the batter as this fruit is seasonal. So here’s for a healthy and tasty breakfast for all of us..Ingredients:

Add dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just blended (the batter will be slightly lumpy). Fold in the puree of plums. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes.

Heat a flat pan to medium heat and spray some cooking oil or brush the pan with some butter. I like to use my tablespoon for pouring the batter as it helps to maintain the same size of pancakes.

Spoon 2-3 tbsp of batter into skillet, using the back of the ladle spread batter into a round shape. Brush with a little butter or spray with cooking spray. Cook 2-3 mins or until you see bubbles on top and light crust on edges. Flip with a thin spatula to cook the other side. Transfer it to a serving plate and follow the same process to finish all the batter into pancakes. Serve warm with desired toppings. Frankly speaking nothing else is required with these delicious pancakes perhaps a few chopped plums on top. Serve and relish.
